Evolution was one of the big reasons I stopped believing in God as a freshman in college. I remember watching your debate with Bill Nye, having no background in apologetics, and completely throwing in the towel. I’m so blessed to say that God never gave up on me, and many years later I have come back to my faith! Your videos have helped me understand all those problems I had with science and religion before. Ken Ham, you are a blessing upon the world. Thank you so much!!! ❤

How did evolution stop you believing in god?

[@burntgod7165]

If that's true, then I don't think you understand evolution. Most Christians accept it. Francis Collins, one of the world's foremost geneticists, is an evangelical Christian. He was the Head of the human genome program that decided the human genome. He looked inside the human gene. He said it clearly shows our ancestry isn't human, and we're related to all other life on earth. Is Collins, and all the other geneticists wrong? Has Ken Ham or any creationist decoded the human genome?

@unsightedmetal6857 it's 100% incompatible. God "spoke and it was done, He commanded and it stood fast", and it's impossible to read vast imaginary eons into the generational records from Adam to Christ in the Gospels. Christ refers directly to Adam as well as Noah as literal history

@@mustachemac5229 The point is to offer an explanation that's better. It's not a silly game of who knows better. An uncreated God is better than a God that was created, as demonstrated by Ken Ham. An uncaused first cause as opposed to infinite regression that doesn't align with reality.

@@JiraiyaSama86 That doesn't explain anything. If you believe that Adonai was the creator of the universe then how exactly was that done? You don't just get to claim that it was a god but then give no further explanation or just claim that it was a mystery. That doesn't tell us anything. I can easily argue that there doesn't need to be a first cause by claiming that there is an infinite regression. I can easily make this claim because theists like to claim that their god is infinite so why does your god get to be infinite but not an infinite regress? It's called special pleading.

[@JiraiyaSama86]

@@mustachemac5229 If an explanation needs an explanation, you'd have the same problem of infinite regression, and reason would not exist. You can't have reason if every explanation demands an explanation. For this universe to begin to exist, the cause has to be spaceless, timeless, and immaterial. God fits that description. You can argue that the universe was eternal, except the evidence doesn't suggest so. Are you saying that theists can't have good reasons to believe that God exists?

As far as is currently known, through the billions and billions of dollars spent by Big Science on space telescopes and atom-smashing laboratories, such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the only explanation found for how the laws of the cosmos operate, is through completely NATURAL processes. The fact that no scientist (whatever his spiritual or non-spiritual beliefs may be) has never won a Nobel Prize for providing any kind of evidence or proof for a non-physical explanation behind the properties inherent in the working of that cosmos. And, incidentally, though as Ham has claimed, DNA may indeed be complex in its functioning, it is nevertheless made up of simple groupings of atoms that operate on the process of electrical interacting charges that are known and predictable.

The thing about alien intelligence is that we are aliens ourselves where in this scenario there is not necessarily an infinite regress of intelligences but rather intelligence is a property of nature that evolves over time. We can distinguish between nature that lacks the property of intelligence and nature that has the property of intelligence. It is possible for an intelligence to seed life, even create universes in terms leveraging nature against itself, but it is impossible for the property of intelligence to just exist because it is a complexity that needs time to form. That is why if actual intelligence was required for this universe, advanced aliens would be more plausible than our fantasy Gods/Goddesses.

The fact is that the universe came out of nothing is actually a Christian one. Take Hebrews 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, John 1:1-3 and Psalm 33:6. Unless you can give me a bottle of words, God essentially created the universe out of NOTHING. I know it's quite popular with apologists who read "A Brief History of Time", this is certainly NOT the scientific consensus here. Mathematically we can approach the "Big Bang" up to 10E-40s - with diminishing certainty. It's true that Hawking is a proponent of the idea that at the very beginning there was a singularity with infinite mass and infinite density, but again - that view is not shared by everyone. Roger Penrose assumes the universe was created by an apparent singularity. One implication of this is that the major events at the "Big Bang" can be understood without unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, and therefore we are not necessarily constrained by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, which disrupts time. Others find the question utterly unscientific since all the physics isn't well understood and there is a limit to our observations. Which is a fancy way of saying "we don't know".

[@JungleJargon]

Scientists have no response for this. The speed of light C isn’t constant since the measures of time and distance aren’t constant over larger distances. It’s like changing from 60 kilometers an hour to 60 miles an hour increases your speed. Then if you go from 60 miles an hour to 60 miles a minute it increases your speed even more. This what is happening in general relativity when less gravity increases the measure of distance and speeds up the rate of time over large distances. It also means that the earth is younger than what they claim. The universe doesn’t care about how young the earth is. Actually the changes in time and distance compound the changes in the speed of light. Do a thought experiment. Hold your hands a foot apart representing 186,000 miles saying “one thousand and one” representing one second while pretending to see an imaginary photon going from one hand to the other. Now expand the distance saying “one thousand and one” as fast as you can. You should notice that the speed of the imaginary photon increases the farther away from the center of the galaxy it is.

They don't merely have it wrong, they have it willfully wrong. To wit; ""Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." Richard Lewontin, Harvard Geneticist, Billions & Billions of Demons, The New York Review of Books, Jan. 9, 1997, Pg. 31.

[@HansBezemer]

Nice piece of quote mining. That is a thing that makes apologists so disingenuous. The complete quote reads: "Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. When the wrong question is being asked, it usually turns out to be because the right question is too difficult". Lewontin was not a theist, but as a Marxist, he couldn't support hard core naturalism as well. He firmly rejected Neo-Darwinism, because if nature (and people) weren't malleable then society wouldn't be malleable as well, rendering his ideal society an impossibility. So he was ranting here against sociobiologists and evolutionary biologists who - according to his ideology - were oversimplifying the real natural mechanisms at work. No theist was intended to be harmed. If you'd done your homework and had an open mind, you would have known this. BTW, I'm not a great fan of Lewontins work. On the other hand, other apologists (like Lennox) have misquoted Lewontin (and this quote in particular) as well.

Anyone who accepts that logic exists, that mathematics describes reality, that every effect has a cause and yet denies that there was a creation of it by a rational Creator just does not recognize the inconsistency of their position. If we try to understand reality, even by denying that it has a beginning we are using reason, a spiritual faculty. Where is it possible that spirit comes from matter with no purpose? If we even the question we are seeking a rational answer which would be illogical if there were no purpose to existence.

[@michaelbraithwaite5875]

He's right that God doesn't need to be created (because He could have an infinite past), but unfortunately his whole argument collapses, since the material world could also have an infinite past, in which case we don't need to postulate an immaterial being to bring the material world into existence (which would actually be anti-explanation, since it would have to be more complex than the material universe it purports to explain).

[@danstoica2824]

There is no "infinity" for a life that must end. We relate to infinity and believe that there is no limit to it. Everything is bounded, only eternal existence is not. We see the cyclicity of life and death and we have the impression that only this exists, and through these experiences we understand our infinity, but not eternal existence.

[@throckmortensnivel2850]

@@danstoica2824 "There is no infinity, except the infinity I say there is". Sorry, but that's not an argument, that's an opinion. My point was that Christians have this way of putting up a backstop (God) whereever it suits them. The universe is a finite place, but God is not. The universe requires a designer, but God does not. That's just an arbitrary decision. My point is that if the universe requires a creator/designer, how much more does the creator designer require a creator/designer of their own? To say the universe requires a creator/designer, but that the creator/designer doesn't, isn't really logical. In the regression of a God that creates a God that creates a God, and so on, stopping anywhere is completely arbitrary. There is no reason the regression couldn't go on to infinity.

Particularly Westerners rely on logic and rationale, rather than trusting what our subconscious or unconscious mind is trying to tell us. Our consciousness is the interface between this reality we perceive with our five senses, and the reality outside of our five senses, which is where the soul largely exists. So if we are to know God, and ourselves it’s important to trust, what our subconscious or unconscious mind is trying to tell us. I had an experience a few days ago, I was getting my evening meal ready, something was trying to tell me something, but I was preoccupied trying to get my evening meal ready. I took out a fish from a card carton and put it in the oven, the other fish in the carton I put in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer. I was going to the front door with the card carton to dispose of it in the recycling bin, and just as I was going to open the front door, I felt in my mind somebody shout at me, “Look at the date!”. When I looked at the date on the carton, it showed Dec 2023, so the fish was at least five weeks out of date. I don’t know whether it was God or one of my relatives that had past on, but I’m very grateful. Otherwise, I could have had some food poisoning. After I had chucked both of the fishes in the general waste bin, I place my hands together looked up to the ceiling and said, “Thank you God”. The interesting aspect of that experience I had, the words of, “Look at the date” wasn’t spoken to me, like people speak to each other through sound waves. It was telepathy, the words of “Look at the date!” came into my mind with sense of great urgency.

It is not known if the universe had a beginning. Big bang only describes the big inflation of the universe, where all of our models and maths fail. The idea that the universe always existed are similar hard to imagine as the idea that god always existed. Replacing "universe" with "god" in that point of view, does not help at all. And even if our known universe was created and had a beginning, this does not mean, that the process that was responsible for that required some supernatural being. I could imagine a multi-dimensional super-universe, that by some process created our 3D+time universe. We will never know, but to replace that unknown with a god is no needed.

Creation ex nihilio or out of nothing is not accepted by Islam or Mormonism, and neither is it accepted by Plato whose doctrine was similar. The Greeks posited the idea that matter always existed. Thus the "creation" as they saw it was just the rearranging of matter. Irenaeus in a fragment attributed to him expresses what looks like anger when he reviews that idea; which does no more that suggest that all God does is "push matter around." but does not actually create. This brings to mind Patrick who spoke of the "creator of creation" in order to distance himself from those who looked upon the material world as not having been the result of a decision made by God to create. In other words there may not have been a creation had God decided against the idea and moved ahead with the idea to create. .

I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens." Isaiah 42:21 - It has delighted יהוה, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious. Psalms 19:7 - The Torah of יהוה is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה is trustworthy, making wise the simple; Psalms 119:44 - That I might guard Your Torah continually, Forever and ever; Romans 2:13 - For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the Torah shall be declared right. Romans 3:20 - Therefore by works of Torah no flesh shall be declared right before Him, for by the Torah is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:31 - Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah. Romans 7:7 - What, then, shall we say? Is the Torah sin? Let it not be! However, I did not know sin except through the Torah. For also the covetousness I knew not if the Torah had not said, “You shall not covet.” Romans 7:12 - So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and the command set-apart, and righteous, and good. Romans 7:22 - For I delight in the Torah of God according to the inward man, James 1:25 - But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. --------------------------- The Torah Is For All: Exodus 12:49 - “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns among you.” Leviticus 24:22 - ‘You are to have one right-ruling, for the stranger and for the native, for I am יהוה your God.’ Numbers 15:15 - One law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you - a law forever throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before יהוה. Numbers 15:16 - One Torah and one right-ruling is for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.

I don't get how the whole 'god is eternal' thing is supposed to resolve the real issue here- Christians want to pose the question 'why is there something instead of nothing?' as though that's some sort of impossible question for atheists. Well my response is, why is there a god instead of no god? How can you account for god existing? Even if he wasn't 'caused' in the temporal sense, what is the antecedent that is responsible for him existing? Even if you think that, in the absence of god, nothing would exist at all, you still need to be able to explain why there is in fact something instead of nothing.
